resolution A remote sensing term which has three separate applications: 1. spatial resolution, which refers to the ability of a sensor to distinguish between objects that are spatially close to each other. It is a measure of the smallest angular or linear separation between two objects. 2. Spectral resolution which refers to the ability of a sensor to distinguish between objects which are spectrally similar. It is a measure of both the discreteness of wavebands and the sensitivity of the sensor to distinguish between electromagnetic radiation intensity levels. 3. Thermal resolution which refers to the ability of a sensor to distinguish between objects with a similar temperature; parameter['rezə'lu:ʃ(ə)n]נ
resolution A formal expression of the opinion of an official body or a public assembly, adopted by vote, as a legislative resolution; act['rezə'lu:ʃ(ə)n]נ
